Using FF4 and the only complaint I have is they revered the "open in New Window" and "Open in New Tab position in the drop down box.

I keep opening things in new windows when I meant to open them in a tab.

I trip over that one as well. However, it makes sense. Less mouse movement to open a new tab. I use the tab more than new window.

That's just a more matter of habit than a design issue.

You too huh?

It's taken me more than a week to get used to it, and I still hit the wrong one occasionally. Why the heck would someone change something like that?

That bothered me, too, but I found a neat add-on called New tab toolbar button 1.1. It's experimental but seems to work okay.

Thank you!! I thought it was just me forgetting where it was found.
